11 days to go...
Slot 1 was a bumper harvest. 191 offers from around 30 companies. Absolutely smashing. A lot of people were very happy, since the salaries have gone up this year, and one particular software services company from the southern region of this country decided to rain jobs. I won't talk more, will let the official results come out in the media. Btw, for information about lateral placements, look here.
Results were released at 2 AM, to a classroom full of students, who were waiting for the whole day for this half hour. It is a scene to be seen, so many students, clearly the future of corporate India, waiting to be placed, and knowing that some of the highest pays and the best futures await them, and the direction would be chartered in the next few minutes.
I would carry that one hour with me for a long long time. A more interesting phenomenon took place, when the sign-outs began. The students began to sign out, and the wait lists began moving, bringing moments of joy, anxiety and pleasure to so many people. I'd like to take this moment, to express heartfelt happiness for one particular genius, who almost didn't make it. He did, in a waiting list, to a phenomenal job, and justice was finally done. A relief to me, and Im sure, to a large part of the batch.
The beautiful part is, most people still in the process are in mostly because they want FMCG and similar jobs that come only in Slot 2. It looks like most people are going to land up in jobs that they will enjoy, a rarity in the cattle market that placement season usually is. :)
